Name: Bailey Heldmar
Social: / baileyheldmar
Location: Upper West Side, New York, NY
Type of Home: Studio apartment
Size: 200 square feet (18 square meters)
Rent: $1775/month
Years lived in: 1 year, renting
*Fun Fact: Meg Ryan used to live in this same building very early in her career.
Bailey's 200 sq ft apartment on New York's Upper West Side is a small space gem. Inspired by thrifted finds and family heirlooms, this tiny studio perfectly embodies that warm, lived-in charm. "My unit is on a low floor and doesn’t get a lot of light," says Bailey, "so I sometimes call it my ‘cave.’ I leaned into it and made a cozy, warm retreat from the hustle of NYC." We absolutely love the personal touches and hidden storage solutions throughout, making Bailey's home both functional and sentimental.

Honestly so impressed by how much charm and personality she’s managed to fit into this little space. So many smart choices, like the round dining table, the storage sofa, and the huge mirror on the dresser.

I agree and it looks very cozy🧡 I love her little reading nook with the painting from her mom!🧡🌻

@Terri_MacKay Жыл бұрын

She's done such a good job of decorating and arranging her furniture that even with only one window, the dark brick wall, the dark wood furniture, and the large armoire, the apartment doesn't look overcrowded and dark. It looks so homey and comfortable...it's the only one-room (aside from kitchen) apartment I've ever seen that I could see myself living in and being happy in.

More horrifying: that’s actually cheap for the Upper West Side. It’s a very expensive neighborhood. Most of the city is now. The building is probably not that great, no doorman to receive packages, possibly no laundry in the building either, dirty and old.

This was pretty cute and interesting. One of the things I have noticed about small living is the priority each individual has. For example....the armoir of shoes. That wouldn't be my priority for space, but I also think it is important to do what works best for you! ❤️
